Back from holiday- an update :)

I am back from holiday now, I just got home today :-) I had a super holiday and still have a week of my easter break left so can't wait to enjoy this week too.

In the evenings in the IOW I had quite alot of time to sit in front of the telly and do some crafting :) Here is one of the things I made:

Hehehe, it's a troll bow hairclip :0) I found some little trolls in my room so I thought I would put them to good use and this was my first idea!

I also started some other accessories too but they are not quite finished yet, I will post pics of them when they are done :) (one is another cute hairlip in the shape of a heart with pleated ribbon edging, I've just got to add the finishing decoration.)

Another thing I did in the IOW is lots of shopping! (as usual I bought quite a bit of the fresh handmade fudge they have in the sweetshops as it is super tasty) I have a very cool thing I got to show you know though..... It is..... a fancy dog bag......!:

Yes it is a bag!!! I know, amazing isn't it! a fabric- stitched bag that looks soo much like a cool dog :D I really loved it and my mum very generously treated me to it. I can't wait to use it when I go to the shops- I wonder how many funny looks I will get, lol :P

There are also other types of dog available, I found the website of the company who makes them online: Fuzzy Nation Some of the bags really look like they could just run off barking! :0)

I'm off to bed now as I'm pretty tired after the journey home and need to get a good rest before I head off to my tailoring/dress making/clothing alterations work experience I normally do on saturdays again :) I had to have 2 weeks off due to the trains and then being away, I can't wait to get back, it is soo fun! I am bringing a handmade cake I got in the isle of Wight as gift so hopefully they like it :-D

Hi Im Jordan! My mum taught me the basics of knitting quite a while ago now and I continued to learn more and more by myself then I went on to crochet. I have experimented with many other crafts since and have developed a love for sewing and costume (Which is what I study at University :-). I really love different cultural and alternative fashions. As well as fashion I have a huge interest in bridal wear and attend pretty much every major wedding fayre going! :P I think about sewing, pattern cutting, fashion, clothes making and crafting pretty much all the time- I dream in seams!
Im a vegetarian and have been since I was born, Ice cream and cake/brownies are probably my favourite deserts and I love going to see theatre shows/perfomances (mainly becuase of all the costumes and the ice cream at half time :P)and of course I love blogging too!
But that is enough about me for now.... Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy visiting and joining me in my little world :)
